>> quite frankly i've seen om of our people in custody do amazing things. >> reporter: carter's mother doesn't buy it. she believes police killed her son. >> i think they killed him. my son wasn't suicidal. >> reporter: at this point it's still debatable and still under investigation. 21-year-old chavis carter was handcuffed at the time the shot was fired doubled up behind his back. >> is it possible to be handcuffed behind your back and somehow pull the trigger on a gun that you weren't holding? >> the average person that's never been in handcuffs, that's never been around inmates and people in custody would reac the same way that you just did about how can that be possible? is well, it's very possible and it's quite easy. >> reporter: chavis carter and two others were pulled over july 29th for driving suspiciously. the first officer called for

back up. then the two of them questioned and searched the three men in the truck. when officers first searched carter they say they found a small amount of marijuana and some small plastic bags. they did not find a gun. according to the officers, carter was placed in the backseat of one of the police vehicles. at that point he was not handcuffed. it wasn't until later when the officer searched the suspect's vehicle and found drugs like electronic scales and large bag of white powder that they patted down carter again. they placed him in the same police vehicle's backseat only this time he was handcuffed. it's a mystery to many including the fbi who is looking into it. >> they find a small bag, $10 worth of marijuana but they miss a gun? >> apparently.

>> is that disappointing to you? >> yes. >> reporter: the two men with carter who were white were released but carter was held back after the officers who were also white discovered he had given them fake name and there was warrant for his arrest in mississippi where he had skipped out on a drug diversion program. the chief says his officers don't know when the fatal shot was fired even though they were just feet away. according to this incident report one of the officers heard a loud thump with a metallic sound but thought it came from a vehicle that ran over a piece of metal. >> don't your officers know the sound of a gun being fired? >> one would think. when those guns are in a confined space like the rear of a police car, it would be very different. >> reporter: it wasn't until the officers were about to leave when police say one of them smelled something burning in his vehicle. the chief says it was likely gun smoke. that's when police say the officer found chavis carter

officers pulled the trigger. >> you say you've ruled that out in your investigation? >> at this stage of the investigation that's a remote possibility. we haven't excluded everything, but i feel confident that's not what it is. i certainly understand how she might feel that way. >> reporter: there's dash cam video from that night but the trouble is it doesn't show the moment the gun was fired. that's because the two police cars were parked trunk to trunk so the dash cam didn't capture carter sitting in the backseat. police have not released the video but have already reconstructed what happened using a duplicate vehicle. they are waiting for the autopsy to be finished to see if what they visualize happened is consistent with the autopsy results. >> thank you very much. it's trade most people

payment and you need anything to get there. >> anything you want to add? >> if you're handling the current rent then uch to think this is the number i can afford. when the rent comes up maybe downsizing for a little while so you can put that extra aside to start saving. any good savings plan should start with eking out 5, $10 into a savings account. >> if you have an issue you want our experts to tackle, up lead 30-second video to our helpdesk. people with a machine. what ? customers didn't like it.

north ruins. and it says sort of a contraction of racial holy war. >> reporter: like page, michaels fronted a supremacist band. his was called centurion. he says his parents were not racist but that there was alcoholism and verbal abuse in his family, which made him want to lash out. by age 16 he was moving in skinhead circles in milwaukee. he estimates he violently attacked people of other races or religions about once a week for four or five years. what was the worst thing you did? >> i've beaten people and left them for dead. >> reporter: michaels believes that if wade michael page was anything like how he was, page was suffering in his final days. >> his day-to-day life was nothing but terror. everywhere he looked in the world around him, going to work, at work, getting home from work.

everything threatened him. and when you are in that environment, there is no room for happiness. there's no room for joy. >> reporter: michaels says he attempted suicide twice. but in what can only be described as a twist in life, a seed was planted in arno michaels to change. it came in a place he wouldn't have figured from someone he never could have imagined. he'd started going to mcdonald's on paydays. he says he came upon an older, kindly african-american woman working behind the counter who greeted him warmly as she took his order. >> i was really kind of disconcerted. it was hard when black people were very kind to me when i was trying to hate them. >> reporter: once after getting a swastika tattooed on his middle finger, michaels went back into that mcdonald's. he found himself trying to hide the swastika from the lady.

>> she looked at me and said i know you are a better person than that. that's not who you are. and i was just like, could i please have my big mac? and i got my food and went and ate it and i never went back to that mcdonald's. >> reporter: you ner never saw her again? >> never saw her again. but 20 years later i haven't forgotten that moment. >> reporter: it led him to move away from the groups and start his own. life after hate dedicated to helping people transition out of that existence. i asked michaels what he'd say if a supremacist was sitting across from him now contemplating a similar horrific act. >> i would challenge them to think about what happens after that. and to think about someone in their life who they love. >> reporter: michaels says his real slap in the face moment came after a friend of his was murdered in a street fight. he's convinced the temple shootings in wisconsin were a slap in the face moment for at

least one person in a hate group somewhere. he says he desperately wants to help them start to climb out of that hole. brian todd, cnn, milwaukee, wisconsin. >> all right, brian. interesting report there. so how good are your job benefits? i bet they don't compare to what employees at google are getting. even after they die. you'll want to hear this next story.
